Elsewhere in markets news, the US 10-year yield is up more than 6 basis points Tuesday morning, crossing 3.06% for the first time since July 2011. The spike coincides with better than expected economic data fuelling expectations the Fed could hike rates as much as four times in 2018.

The Dow, in turn, dropped 250 points as of Tuesday afternoon after eight prior days of rallying.
